This year seven author friends have joined me to provide an extra-special gift package for our 2023 Hug a Medievalist Day winner! We're giving away 8 autographed print books plus some bonus prizes! We want to give you a chance to meet the prizes before our giveaway begins, so each day I will be posting a different prize and description. Here we go with:
Prize 1
An autographed print copy of Dangerous Favor, a medieval romance by Joyce DiPastena
Mathilde needs a champion.
Her father has been accused of stealing from the king, an allegation that has reduced her family to poverty. She has one chance to find and marry a man who can help her prove her father's innocence. Lord Therri, heir to a rich barony, has the wealth and connections Mathilde needs to delve into the mysteries of her father's past. Furthermore, Therri embodies all her romantic dreams.
Etienne, the younger son of a disgraced family, has neither wealth nor connections, but is smitten with Mathilde at a glance. She finds the knight intriguing, but believes he is only out to seduce her. While she seeks for a way to win Therri's attention, Etienne tricks her into granting him her favor, an embroidered white ribbon, for a tournament, setting in motion a dangerous chain reaction of events. Can Etienne save Mathilde from a nightmare from her past and prove himself the true hero of her dreams?
